I’m a caring and compassionate psychiatrist who believes in honoring the uniqueness of each person’s journey. My approach is holistic—addressing the whole individual, not just symptoms—with a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. I incorporate supportive therapy, genetic testing when indicated, as well as lab work to check for underlying health factors and encourage lifestyle changes like regular exercise, nourishing food, and vitamin supplements. Other core pillars include honoring your authentic self and becoming the person you were created to be, meaningful relationships, and activities that bring joy and connection. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorder or life transitions, I’m here to walk with you on a path toward healing, freedom, and overall wellness.
I strongly believe in combining spirituality with mental health to achieve the ultimate state of fulfillment and peace. I've worked with people in crisis, with mental health disorders, and with substance use.
You may be feeling overwhelmed—like no matter what you try, the tension at home keeps building, your teen seems more distant, or anxiety and sadness are quietly taking over. Maybe it’s hard to talk without things turning into arguments, or your child is acting out in ways that feel unfamiliar. If you're exhausted by conflict, silence, or emotional disconnection, you're not alone. I help adolescents and families navigate depression, anxiety, behavioral struggles, trauma, and relationship challenges with care and clarity.
Hello and welcome!
As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with over 20 years experience, I believe our relationships are central and vital to our happiness - they can enrich us, and/or bring us pain.
I help couples work through major life issues, decide if they want to stay together, and enact that decision with respect for each person. We dig deep and have the difficult conversations in a safe environment.
All relationships are embraced and affirmed.
I’m a bilingual psychotherapist with 20 years of experience working in correctional health, outpatient mental health, and private practice. I work with youth, adolescents, and adults, offering therapy and evaluations in both English and Spanish. Through my practice, MLC Mental Services, I provide confidential in-person and virtual care and welcome individuals from all backgrounds, including immigrants, first responders, and those working in health and human services.
